Looking for info on Modula-2+

A couple of weeks ago, someone posted a reference to an article called "Extending Modula-2 to Build Large Integrated Systems", which they said was in the Nov 86 issue of IEEE Software. Since it does not appear to be in that issue or any other issue I could find, could someone please tell me: - Where can I find this article? - Is there any other source of information about DEC Modula-2+? I am also interested in any other pointers to articles describing extensions or proposed extensions to Modula-2, as well as standardization efforts for the core language. Of course I am aware that any discussion of extensions to Modula-2 is heresy. I just happen to be a heretic. Pet peeve #457: why can't you have both quote characters in the text of the same Modula-2 string constant? Only the good Dr. W. knows for sure. Many thanks in advance.

The article:
I just checked the issue, and it's in there (bits of oregano, real garlic --
it's in there!!). The article is by Paul Rovner from DEC SRC, and is on
pages 46-57.
On standardization:
There is another article in the same issue of IEEE Software concerning OSSI
(Operating System Standard Interface), which is an attempt to settle on a
standard set of library modules for OS support and utilities. The interface
portions of these modules were posted to net.sources last fall sometime
(October or November). Besides this effort, there is also a British group
working on standardizing the language. They also posted some papers to
net.lang.mod2 (back when it was still net.lang.mod2) -- one or two concerning
proposed standards for all facets of the language, and one titled "All About
Strings".
